Other exhibitions may not be a patch on the one opening in Dunfermline.

For the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum is home for the next month to Remember Me?, an exhibition of unique quilts on the theme of women of Scotland.

The inspiration for the exhibition comes from some of the most famous and influential woman of the country, from Mary, Queen of Scots to Carnegie’s own mother Margaret.

Internationally renowned artists Lorraine Sullivan, who took a City and Guilds Diploma in patchwork and quilting at Dundee College, and US-born Tina Gravatt are the women behind the exhibition, which runs until May 22.

They started work on the show in the summer of 2009 with the aim of producing contemporary quilts and textiles to celebrate the achievements of Scottish women down through the centuries.

Now the collection consists of around 50 works of art using hand and machine quilting methods, embroidery and applique.

The museum is exhibiting 18 of the works but also included is one specially designed for the Fife show and that was inspired by a silk patchwork quilt made by Andrew Carnegie’s mother.

Museum convener Jane Livingstone said it was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the works of art which illustrated the often neglected area of the major influence Scottish women have had on society and history.

Descendant of Margaret Carnegie, Alice Thomson said she was proud to attend the launch of the exhibition which placed the women in his life at the heart of his work and legacy.
